Garden inspiration

After going to look at open gardens I came home and had the urge to put rusty junk in my garden. To paint old chairs, do some rearranging and making.

Here's some of what I've been up to and what's flowering. Sorry in advance for the photo overload.

Sweet peas will be flowering soon. I rescued the 'speak no evil' frogs that had been buried under weedsfor ages and plonked them behind the cubby house were not much grows. There is a pond near here, so theyfit in.

This used to be our fruit bowl. Repurposed.

I got this little fella half price because he had a broken ear.

There used to be a stone bench here.

I went and scrounged around my dads shed(junk yard), made this with some wire and a $3.50 heart from the

Your garden is like a little corner of paradise. Your girls are so lucky to have a mum with such a green thumb so they have this oasis to play in! I love the idea of putting a plant inside an old kettle :)

I like your garden, Alicia! It looks so bohemian — very natural and laid-back. You don’t have to spend a lot for the outdoor furniture and other ornaments to make it look more beautiful. And the dried fallen leaves and stems serves nicely to enhance the effect. Good job!
